In the current version (0.82.6.1-15-g1202f66) you should mainly test path-finding, as Kloot added a fix.
If there is big praise of this change, this might come to be a 0.82.7.

I agree with your stance on this situation but I lack the understanding to know where you came up with this crazy idea. I mean, really, I can't see how this is plausible in any way.

However, if you took my idea and merged it with yours, it may be a lot more reasonable whilst being easier to implement and maintain. I hate to sound bitter, but your concept lacks a lot of what my idea gives.

I mean, did you even think about this at all?







On a relavent note, about to test it with Carp, Beh and probably some others. Will update this post with impurtuntz infurmayshons when we've tested it

I don't see much point in creating a new thread or w/e just for feedback. But seeing as you've highlighted it a few times in red and bold text, I guess I have no choice but to comply.

Could you add some notes to the first post about what has been altered and needs to be looked over? I am unsure what you want us to be looking at

[hoijui]

the first post has a link to all the changes from last release to current test version, and the last post has a link to the changes since the last test version. do you want me to further explain changes between test versions, and what to test how?
You test the release, and when you see changes in a test version that might be interesting for you, you test that version. What are you missing?

[Forboding Angel]

I don't have the foggiest idea what to test and AFAIK this ( http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=2187 ) hasn't been addressed yet and it's fairly breaking behavior. If I have to wait another 6 months for another spring version to come out that fixes it I will be quite angry.

[hoijui]

looking at the second last set of changes:
http://github.com/spring/spring/compare ... 8-g3be0661
i see these commits that could be directly interesting for you/testers:

• don't bind a UDP socket for local games (allows multiple local instances again sans hassle)
• Lua: allow Spring.AssignMouseCursor & Spring.ReplaceMouseCursor from LuaRules, too

going back one more, to the 3rd last set of changes:
https://github.com/spring/spring/compar ... 2-g071d382
it seems obvious to me that path-finding was changed there (in both commits)

i can not see what is not to understand there. it is all written in plain english, short and to the point sentences.
what are you missing?
